Carnival Gaming announced its Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) roster for the upcoming season. As per the roster, the team has acquired former Team Soul players. Team Soul has been one of the top-performing squads in royale battles in the past few years and has also won several tournaments. The announcement by Carnival Gaming came on January 11, Thursday, via a video.
In the announcement, the gaming organisation revealed its first roster, which will feature in its first major tournament under the new home in the Snapdragon Pro Series. The roster has names like Omega - Sahil Lakhar (Captain), Goblin - Harsh Paudwal, AkshaT - Akshat Goel, Hector - Sohail Shaikh, Neyo - Naman Adiani and Amit Dubey - Coach. Sahil Omega Lakhar, the team captain rose to the limelight in late 2020 while he played for 8Bit Esports.

8Bit signed Sahil and AkshaT in August 2020 and since then both players developed excellent coordination. Akshat and Omega were later signed by Chemin Esports in October 2021 and played for only two months under the banner. The team, during that time, secured third place in the Loco Diwali Battle and second place in the Skyesports Mobile Open.
The roster had a few inconsistent performances in some of the major tournaments in BGMI in 2023, including Battlegrounds Mobile India Masters Series (BGMS) Season 2 2023 and Battlegrounds Mobile India Series (BGIS) 2023. By the end of the year, team Soul gained momentum and displayed notable performances in Skyesports Championship 5.0 LAN, Esports Diwali Battle 2023 LAN, and Battlegrounds Mobile India Pro Series (BMPS) 2023.
